I noticed a little lump on my neck and it changed my plans and my life. We will have to remove it, exclaimed my doctor. It is just a simple operation… I spent three days in the hospital and I waited three weeks for biopsy results. I wasn’t worried at all. I was a 22-year old university student, full of energy and vitality. I didn’t expect it could be something serious. On 22 February 2006 the doctor told me: “It is positive“. I didn’t even understand what it means. Everybody in my family was shocked – I had CANCER. I was confused. I had lots of questions and fears.

He prayed: "Father in Heaven, send your Son Jesus now to this priest suffering from kidney T.B., kidney stones and infections and restore him complete health of body and soul". Then I thought in my mind that he might have seen the hospital chart where my sicknesses were reported!

If I have to be punished for what I did – i.e. for the goodness, truth, and Christ – I wouldn’t choose the smallest punishment, but the most terrible one; I would be so happy if I could die for Christ, although I know that I am not worthy of such a great grace.

Yes, bones were my life issue. I was born with a fracture. Since then I had several fractures during all my childhood, every time I fell down. I spent a lot of time in hospitals. I suffered a lot. But I also saw other people suffering. It was for me great life experience, great learning experience. During this experience I understood that God is always with me and He never abandons me. This attitude of praise became (and it is continuously becoming) my expression of love towards God.

I am thankful to have been born 31 years ago with no arms and no legs. I won’t pretend my life is easy, but through the love of my parents, loved ones, and faith in God, I have overcome my adversity and my life is now filled with joy and purpose.

When I was a child I was sexually abused by an older boy. We lived in poverty. I experienced occult practices, depression, homosexuality, and suicide attempts. Only faith in Jesus Christ brought light to my life.

The aim of the “Jesus Heals” prayer gatherings is experiencing the fact that God is Love. He is Love that wants to give itself to other people. God wants to show us His mercy even through healing, signs, wonders, and miracles.

During chemotherapy I lost my menstrual cycle. After about half-a-year I asked my gynaecologist – oncologist about that. I was afraid I was going to badly react to his answer. He told me:
“It’s normal. Your menstrual cycles will never return.”

I started to do fortune-telling and I said things that resulted to be truthful. I used to predict things that really happened in near future. Sometimes I read people’s thoughts. I disdained Christian religion. I had a bad opinion about believers and acquaintances who were not profound believers.

Despite persecution during the Communist era (or actually because of Communist persecution) my search of God became a continuous adventure. Pilgrimage and travelling rather than studying. When I studied at high school God came dramatically closer to me.

This epoch is not easy at all for Christians; but for big-format Christians it is a great and marvelous epoch. “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.“ In such glorious moments the Church sings to the Lord a heroic song of love and faithfulness. It is a privilege and a gift: to live just now, to love, and to fight.

My core problem was – how can I trust God again?! How can I understand Him? What has happened? What we believed in before suddenly became not valid. We needed to reevaluate our faith from the foundation.

My conversion does not fall under the category “extraordinary”. I know you would like to hear about the miraculous conversion of a former drug-addicted or alcohol-addicted. I was neither drug-addicted nor alcohol-addicted. Maybe this is the reason why my conversion was even more miraculous.

The beatings would start and they would be slapping in the face, hitting in the stomach, sometimes kicking. “I struggled with faith, ‘Was God with me? Did He love me? If God is good why would He allow me to go through this situation?

But I was also interested very much in the communist ideals as in something that surpassed the ordinary life. So I became a member of a communist party – because I was convinced and I wanted it. And in spite of the fact I went to church and believed in God. I did not feel it as a contradiction

My grandfather from my mother’s side had a great influence on my life. Besides that he loved me very much and spent much time with me, he became my ideal and inspiration in a faith, but also in a male character.

I got more and more entangled in different occult practices. I applied myself to astrology, healing (reiki) and I practiced martial arts. Instead of prayer I meditated in solitude, which pulled me many times away from the life’s reality.

We had decided with a great sadness that we had to go where we were being fed and leave the Catholic Church. Just as we were about to make this public statement Geoff had an open vision which simultaneously was confirmed to Gina through a word from the Lord.

Story - Mons. Jozef Tóth

Greek Catholic priest. Persecuted for his faith in Jesus Christ. Teacher, writer, and poet. In the past, Mons. Jozef Tóth was vice dean and co-founder of the Greek Catholic Theological Faculty.

I was born on 20 March 1925 in Haniska pri Košiciach. Like ancient Hebrew boys I was born without the help of any midwife.

I came to this world like a cosmonaut in the diving suit of my own body. I came here to see how things are and how I am. I came from the mystery to the mystery. I went round and I still go round this world, figuring out what happens inside me and outside me: I perceive, I receive, and I refuse - but I don't damn anyone.

I am full of wonder and disappointment, joy and suffering - I talk like other people. Like Job! All things I have are a gift for me. Life and its contents, time, and space. I see the most intimate connection in all these things. No matter when and where I was born. No matter what I said or wrote: everything was already uttered and written. I would like to be just a reminder for myself and for the others on the road to the kingdom of mystery.

Traces along my way: childhood and primary school (an excellent school!) in my native town of Haniska. Then, I studied in a lyceum in Košice. I spent eight years with my classmates. They are my brothers still today. I spent eight years with my professors. They are my professors still today. Back in the year 1946. I was mature.

People round me were surprised and me too, when I started my university studies at the Theological University in Košice. Two years later a "push from above" sent me to the Catholic Theological Faculty of Bratislava. A completely different scenario and completely different plans.Our country was stricken by a plague epidemic. As a consequence of this plague, I spent my non-school years from 1950 to 1954 in the black university of PTPs (military re-educational work camps held throughout communist Czechoslovakia). All things I have are a gift for me. I got my diploma from that university. They didn't release me any piece of paper. Who cares.

There was no place for me to walk in the surface. I went underground. I lived and admired the divine comedy of life! I was a miner of the soul. During systematic emptying of the world I realized that I was full of strength and beauty. So I donated it to people. For long time.

In 1989 they erected plague pillars all over the country. Cholera was over. Not completely. We were now able to walk in the surface. No more silly words and trumpets.

In 1990 I was back in my youth years. I changed out of my diving suit. I spoke to young theologians and non-theologians about God's ways. I wish they all understood. I know they will! I wish I could go back to the mystery of the final act with the same heart I had when I first came to this world. Maranatha. Amen.

I have lived in a religious environment: family, the convent of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, chaplains, theatres, academies, and – above all – the poetry of this world, of nature as God’s project and life according to this project.

In 1944 I joined up the forces of the Military Work Camp. Four students (incl. myself) were threatened of capital punishment for reportedly keeping contacts with the Partisans. We fled to the mountains. Then we ended up in Romanian captivity. We escaped from that prison as well.

Let's go back to the most important matter: my creed is based on the Scriptures, on announced Word, and education. I am always repeating this with irreversible and proved certainty. Christianity is not only a religion, but it is an optimal anthropological project for human life, under all points of view.

It is the easiest, shortest, and most intelligent project in only two sentences: Love God and your neighbour like yourself; love even your enemies and those who hate and persecute you! It is the constitution of love. The whole universe, the earth and mankind were created according to it. All systems (economical, philosophical, social, family, international, etc.) will fail, if they are not based on this project. If this fundamental basis will not be observed, this world will know even more sorrow, suffering, and misery.

That's why I do agree with Chesterton.

Christianity didn't start to live yet, though it has enough strength to set the whole modern world on fire. We are the disciples of the Nazarene. We are here to light this fire. Church evangelization is not enough. Together with my other brothers I wasn't only a "voice crying out in the desert", but a voice in an anthill of evil and devilish things where the light of Christ's Gospel was seen. The prophets of the Old Testament brilliantly contributed to the overture of what we call humanity and democracy, pure art, true human rights. They were men of God - Roe - (the people who see), poets, moralists, and humanists.

I am continuing the work of these peoples, empowered by Christ. In Christ the redemption reached the highest point (leaving the hell, towards purification and then higher and higher). Christianity is poetry and symphony of the Good, Truth, and Beauty. This was and it is my homeland in bad and good times! You are creating this work together with me. You, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

he Baptism in the Spirit's effectiveness in reactivating baptism consists in this: finally man contributes his part -- namely, he makes a choice of faith, prepared in repentance, that allows the that allows the work of God to set itself free and to emanate all its strength. It is as if the plug is pulled and the light is switched on. The gift of God is finally "untied" and the Spirit is allowed to flow like a ftragrance in the Christian life.2017-08-24

Peter Hocken
During the night between Friday and Saturday, in the early morning hours of 10 June 2017, the Lord called back to Him a great man, Father Peter Hocken.
He died at the age of almost 85. He was a servant of God, a friend, a priest who loyally served the Body of Christ until his last breath, all the world round. The Lord gave him an extraordinary intellect and wisdom, together with the experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit. He also received from God the talent and ability to provide specific and comprehensible theological explanations and descriptions of spiritual experiences that are taking place within the Church, notably after the Second Vatican Council.2017-06-11

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I have a dream," he began, "that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. "I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."2017-03-08

We all know, based on our personal experience, that the cooperation with most intelligent people is not often easy. These people usually do not establish friendship easily. It is interesting also that university graduates with an honour degree usually do not fit in to the working environment in the best way and that their high intellect is of a little help in overcoming personal or marriage crises. 2015-09-30

We all are part of a great story. The great story of the world is composed of past and present stories of lives of individual people. The portal mojpribeh.sk is focused on the most important moment of the story of the world and individual, the moment of personal experience of person with God.

As we know, faith is not a question of heritage. People must get their personal relation with the Lord Jesus Christ. This cannot be inherited. You have to be reborn in Jesus. In my life something similar happened.2017-04-10
